Lot 911
Large Cent Blank Planchet with Upset Rims in an NGC "Mint Error" slab. Glossy light chocolate brown. No corrosion but there are some faint hairline scratches on both sides mixed with the usual collection of tiny nicks. The rims are upset (Breen's stage II) indicating this planchet was ready for striking. The rims are fairly wide which suggests the planchet was prepared for a Mature Head cent (1843-1857). The weight is shown as 10.7 grams on the NGC label, which equates to 166.3 grains versus the mint standard of 168.0 grains for large cents. The NGC label calls this a "Mint Error" which is debatable since planchets were manufactured outside the mint.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
